Baked sweet potatoes with a cup of hot tea are always my favorites for the quick breakfast and the simple snacking. I like their own naturally sweet and savory flavors. Then, one day, I remembered one of my favorite childhood sweet treats, Candied Sweet Potatoes (고구마 맛탕), which is traditionally deep-fried, covered dissolved sugar in oil.

Today, it’s snowing outside here in Seattle, and I’m totally in the mood for this Beef Hot Pot.

Sharing the pot simmering on the table may seem unfamiliar to you, however, believe me! It would be the perfect and warm moment with your loved ones in this wintertime.

Rice is a large part of Korean cuisine, and cooked white rice is especially the most commonly consumed type in our everyday life. As much as we love rice, we have many different ways to enjoy cooked rice and one of them is to mix any type of rice with different grains such as barley, red beans and chickpeas. I personally prefer this multigrain rice to plain because it provides richer flavors and more nutritious benefits.
